In a recent candid interview, Nicole Kidman opened up about her bustling schedule and the perception that she seems to be involved in nearly every project making waves in Hollywood. “I was driving here and saw two billboards for your projects, which is wild!” Nicole exclaimed, addressing her fellow actress Caitlyn Dever. “The whole internet loves this narrative that I’m a part of every project, but honestly, I’m not!”
While she appreciates the excitement surrounding her work, Nicole admitted that the simultaneous release of multiple projects can feel overwhelming. “With the recent writers’ strike, everything got pushed back, and now it feels like everything is coming out at once,” she explained. “But I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities.”
One project that has her particularly excited is Baby Girl, which she praised for its unique perspective. “Having a woman direct this film is really beautiful, and it’s great to see something like this get its own moment in the spotlight,” Nicole said, highlighting the importance of female representation in the industry.
Caitlyn joined the conversation, reflecting on their shared experiences during filming. “Shooting our second season together was intense. There was so much more action compared to the first, and the heat in Texas during summer added to the challenge,” she noted. Their time spent in close quarters helped deepen their friendship. “When you share a makeup trailer and start your day at 5 a.m., you really bond,” Caitlyn added with a laugh.
As they discussed the balance between their demanding careers and personal lives, Nicole acknowledged the support they receive from their families. “It’s crucial to have partners who understand the pressures of our work and are proud of what we do,” she stated. Caitlyn echoed this sentiment, noting how teamwork is essential for both their professional and personal success.
With award season approaching, both actresses expressed excitement about being recognized for their hard work. “It’s surreal to share this journey together and celebrate each other’s achievements,” Nicole said, highlighting the special bond they have forged.
Their conversation also touched on the significance of creating empowering stories for women in film. “It’s a privilege to be in a position where we can greenlight projects that matter,” Nicole remarked. “We may not always get big budgets, but we can still tell meaningful stories.”
With so much on the horizon, Nicole Kidman’s enthusiasm for her current projects and her commitment to uplifting female voices in Hollywood shine through, making it clear that she’s not just working in every project—she’s making a difference.
